Crazy how many people want characters in fiction to speak and act like they’ve had 20 hours of intensive therapy. Could NOT be me I want these bitches fucked up insane
if i like a ship i write fluff of them if i really really REALLY like a ship i start saying shit like "i hope nothing ever works out for them i hope they die before getting their shit together"
he would not fucking say that but it’s he would not fucking talk about his queer identity like he was reading out of a college campus lgbt center brochure
you know the phrase “comedian’s comedian” about a stand up who may not have success and recognition or even understand by the general populace but is loved and respected by insiders within the profession cuz they talk about like some serious inside joke stuff or upset the form in such a way that only a fellow artist could see what they’re doing wrong and why that makes it funnier? what if they had those for brain surgery.
i want to ask them ALL but 3 6 13 15 spinning around and twirling forever
the hilarious thing of i didnt realise you still kept an eye on this blog so i was just saving them but yESS YESS YES NO STOP. I NEED TO ANSWE R. I NEED TO ANSER NEOWWWWWWW
3. Who do you put through the most emotional turmoil?
THIS IS LIKE. SUCH AN INSANELY ... DIFFICULT QUESTION, BUT LIKE- look it has to be Kai, I feel like? Its kind of a combination of things. I feel like C (sorry that it's all of your guys here) has been through a lot of turmoil, just by their lifestyle- and it certainly hasn't not affected them but it's something they've always lived with and they can kind of protect themselves in some way, even if it is still just as damaging, meanwhile...
Like with Kai it's like: naturally predisposed to bad anxiety, and struggling with that as a kid, to then suddenly going through one intensely traumatic thing with no support afterwards. Quite the contrary- like I said, with C their very fierce independence protects them, and whilst Kai does actually insist on a lot of that himself, he is still insanely attached to Peach who... Yeah. Salt in the wound. Combine that with genuinely bad self-destructive habits (something that C certainly isn't a stranger to, but is usually in complete survival mode all the time, non-stop) and again, that predisposition which combines badly with all of the above and means he develops pretty bad complexes... Kind of means he's, like, actively on the brink in a way C probably isn't even though they've been through it worse?
Likewise... Peach went through the same thing as he did, but worse, and was really moreso the victim in a lot of stuff leading up to and during the situation but... Well! How she deals with that is something so impenetrably hard to unpick that- sorry yeah.
6. Who goes through the most relationship conflicts? (applies to any relationships)
This would be Naomi by leaps and bounds. I think I have a bad habit, in all honesty, where a lot of my guys are quite solitary (one or two key relationships) and those that aren't don't get into much interpersonal conflict. Bella, for example, is an absolute pushover; Emmerich doesn't give a fuck, so I don't think it counts.
Meanwhile Naomi is really sociable - she'll reach out, talk to people, and engage and get involved no matter where she is, because she enjoys company - whilst still being nightmarishly dismissive. That's something that can so often be misconstrued as her, like, sincerely not caring about people's feelings which... I wouldn't say is completely untrue, especially when she's dogshit at taking responsibility for things, but it's not in a "IDGAF that you're hurt" way, it's in a "literally, it's gonna make it worse if you make it that serious" kind of way. And that extends to her own feelings of upset or hurt: she'll pointedly ignore them (she herself will be like it's literally no big issue hand waves - which ironically, is sort of how Gage would also deal with more emotionally painful stuff? like if she can't fix it, she won't sit there and pick at at the scab; she'll just accept it for what it is and go welp) or completely remove herself from the situation (and circle back if the problems gone).
Combined with her pretty shit lifestyle after running away - meaning at times, she needed to be dependent on friends, partners, strangers - she's had a pretty rough history of pissing people off, making good friends and taking them for granted, falling into bad relationships that she ends up going back to cuz she ends up thinking "you know, it's fine - I miss them!" and a cycle starting over again. Because I feel like she's also, like, pretty fucking shit at doing the reflection to recognise what exactly is causing the problems here if it isn't glaringly obvious, or genuinely thinking that it'll be fine this time (or even worth it). Easily, she will end up going back to a toxic ex even if they had enough good times together for her to seek it out again, or if she genuinely does need a place to stay. I think there's also this element there, of like... Such repression of shit like that- it's sometimes hard for her to truly put things on a scale, because she's so pointedly not thinking about it, that there's a perspective that's sometimes lost. A well meaning person that snaps at her for doing something irresponsible and immature, can sound very similar to someone snapping at her in an abusive and controlling way, because she's just straight up not paying attention.
Although of course, in direct contrast... That is kind of why she never goes back to seeking her family again? At least not for a long time. Homelife was so entrenched in a trauma that she can't separate, and the only good parts of it she had she felt are gone. And Gage is someone she really does struggle to deal with- because everything he says sounds so serious to her, even when she knows it isn't, and he's so up-front that she can't avoid taking responsibility for anything or avoid telling him if he's done something wrong so it's like. Yup. Nope. It's like ground zero for everything she's struggles with (not that she'd recognise that) so she gives it all such a wide berth.
13. Who cries the most often? What are the usual causes?
My dearest most darlingest Bella weeps into her cornflakes and keeps those tears for her ovaltine. I'm actually so stumped to even say what the usual causes are. I mean I'm not: the usual cause is Bella working herself up unnecessarily, tying herself up into anxious knots, and not managing to keep a lid on it.
YOU KNOW HER. She is anxious about everything- but it's definitely at its worst when she feels like she's burdened someone with something, or sincerely messed something up, because that's when she gets into the even worse cycle of profusely apologising- starting to cry- profusely apologising for that- crying again- and- you get the picture.
I think other than her, I would say Althea. She cries significantly less than Bella, and rarely is it full on bawling, but I'd consider her my OC who's the most in touch with her emotions if that makes any sense? As well as being pretty empathetic and an awful soft touch. I think in particular, whenever she's really stressed, she's the type of person to get frustrated and teary and have to step back from the situation to pull herself together.
15. To cap off what kind of hurt/comfort scenarios do you put your oc in?
SEE GOD I'M SO UNSURE OF THIS QUESTION, LIKE- what kind? WHAT CONTEXT??
I hate to say it, but I do really sort of love illness/physical injury stuff - as incredibly vague as that is. Call me easy and predictable, idgaf. I just think, you know, a lot of my guys are kinda shit with dealing with it, and being upfront; being forced into a vulnerable situation, and genuinely needing the care for it is just too good an opportunity. I feel like I've probably thought of all of them compromised at least ONCE in some way like that, you know???
